Annie's Story

This gorgeous Border Collie is Annie, a sensitive soul who is discovering that the world is a pretty wonderful place. She is learning to play, choosing toys from the toybox, enjoying outings and becoming more confident every day. Her favorite place in the world is curled up as close as possible to her person on the couch. She is 6 years old and 34#.<br/><br/>Easy to live with and unassuming, Annie isn’t looking for a busy life. Her ideal home is with a patient, kind family that will give her a calm, predictable home. When she feels safe, she shines as the amazing companion she was always meant to be. When Annie loves you, she gives you her whole heart.<br/><br/>She is delightfully smart, eager to do the right thing, and beginning to work on basic commands. She has been around dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels: she has great dog skills. Kitties are a-ok, and older, respectful children are too. Annie is house-trained, crate trained (trustworthy loose in the house) and lives for daily walks. <br/><br/>Annie will thrive with a family who understands that sensitive dogs need a little extra time to feel safe. Her best fit is a quiet rural or suburban home rather than a noisy, busy city or apartment. She asks for a fenced yard or a family that can keep her safe on leash. She’s the ideal companion for people that enjoys time at home, being together as a family. She must have a friendly canine sibling in her new home to show her the ropes and provide steady companionship.<br/><br/>If you are looking for a devoted shadow, a gentle companion, and a dog whose trust will feel like a true gift, beautiful Annie is looking for you too!<br/><br/>Annie is being fostered in Plymouth, MN. APPLY to adopt her at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt<br/><br/>Her adoption fee is $450 plus Minnesota tax. She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. Upon adoption, all of our dogs go to their new homes with a collar and harness, leash, starter food, blanket, favorite toys & treats. They are current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.<br/><br/>As a foster-based rescue, we do not have a central facility to visit. Meet and greets with specific dogs are arranged once your adoption application (not an inquiry through Petfinder) has been received, processed, and approved. We are located in Minnesota and adopt to an area 400 miles from Minneapolis/St. Paul.

Heart of a Border Collie Rescue's Adoption Policy
Please read 'Do You Have What It Takes' on our website (www.hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt) before applying to adopt a dog through our rescue. You may also find information about Border Collies helpful (www.hoabcr.org/border-collie-info). Steps in our adoption process include: 1) Filling out an application. Taking this step indicates you are truly interested in adopting a dog - it is not binding. 2) If your application meets the requirements for the dog you're interested in, it will be screened through an initial interview with one of our volunteers. If your application does not meet the requirements, you will not be contacted. 3) If we determine your home could be a good fit for one of our dogs, we will complete reference and vet checks, and set up a home visit, which may occur in person or virtually. 4) If approved, details about your application are sent to the foster that has the dog that you're interested in. If the foster feels you are a match for their foster dog, they will call you to talk in detail about the dog, and possibly move to an in-person meeting. Meetings are allowed AFTER applications are fully approved as described above. 5) If that dog is not deemed to be a good match, we may suggest another dog for you, or your application will be kept on file for a potential future dog. 6) Adoption is complete with payment and a signed adoption contract. Our adoption fees are specified in individual Petfinder listings. The fee includes spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm and Lyme tests, rabies & distemper & Bordetella vaccinations (if old enough). Our dogs go to their new homes with a collar, harness, leash, rescue ID tag, starter food, toys and blanket. We are required to charge appropriate MN sales tax.
